All Chapters of Fire and Ice (The alliance Book 1): Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

  Cali,It was an era of gender inequality and sexism. Women of all ranks were relegated to the kitchen and other menial tasks, they were raised with the sole objective of learning to look after their men.Only the most basic of education was provided to women from the wealthiest of families and those women that were born into poverty or lower-class households would have been offered basic tuition from their own mother.Women were seen as a means to procreate and a support for the men who ran the pack. It was not uncommon in this time for a man to have several wives who would quite often be pregnant at the same time, the ultimate goal of course, to birth a child who would carry on the name, an heir. And the daughters were quite often sold off as wives in their early to mid-teens.It was therefore no surprise to anyone when the alphas wife birthed two health baby girls, twins, that he paid them very little attention. They had very

 CaliWithout another word spoken he tilted my head up until his eyes met mine and watched me with such intensity that I couldn't help but squirm in my seat before his lips crashed against mine in a kiss that was demanding in way our kisses never had been before, like he physically couldn't get enough.Hours could have passed, and I wouldn't have known I was so lost in the feeling of his lips against mine, his hands that gripped my hips in a firm hold while his thumbs traced tantalising lines against the skin above my waist band. Eventually he pulled back, his gaze searching as we both gasped to catch our breaths. I had never been so turned on in my life, I couldn't sit still and wriggled against his lap trying vain to get closer to pulsing erection that I needed to feel press inside me."You sure?" He asked, his voice gruff with his own desire and the sound alone made me shiver. Another nod of my head and I watched as he swallowed.

 TristanIt was a little after 2 a.m by the time we got finished with the last of the interviews. Leaving the captives in the capable hands of the Warrior guards Roman and I trudged up the stairs to the main floor of the packhouse, both of us bone weary and exhausted.Without much conscious thought I followed my beta into the first floor sitting room and slumped back on the sofa as Roman poured out two generous glasses of Scotch.Neither one of us said a word until the glasses were half empty. Sure, we had been hoping to uncover some information in relation to the traffickers, how they connected to Liberty pack, why they were interested in Freya, where they were based, anything that would help Damien and Freya, but neither one of us had expected to get the answers we had."Well shit." Roman grumbled before draining the remaining liquid from his glass and I couldn't help but agree. "Surely this can't be right." He continued an

 CaliOver the next few days, I seemed to operate more on autopilot than anything else. Alpha De'Maine did indeed arrive with 8 cars although thankfully only one of them was full.With 19 shifters from Oak Creek, 24 from Dark Forest and 12 from Lotus pack, plus the almost constant circulation of BlackRock pack members and the main house was filled to capacity.The staff were all working on overdrive to keep up with the demand in the house, something I would be eternally grateful for, as without their help there was no way we could have pulled this off.All in all, my first event hosting was a success. Only Catoil found anything to moan about, but I was reliably informed that it wasn't unusual for him to do so, followed by a comment about how the man was an ass and to feel free to throw him out. The surprising part was that the statement came from Tristan, not Damian.Tristan was less stressed than I would have expected

A.N. – Thank you all for your dedication to Fire and Ice, the story from here on out will include chapters from the POV of both Roman and Amber, the next few chapters will be Ambers entirely as we get to know her better and finally learn all about what has been going on between her and the Beta, but don’t worry, we haven’t heard the last of Tristan and Cali just yet. I hope you enjoy, L.M.Nokes xx AmberOkay so maybe blurting out that I’m pregnant on Christmas day while surrounded by my Alpha and Luna and our friends and family wasn’t the smartest of ideas, especially considering I’m unmated. I mean BlackRock is a progressive pack and all but even this is a little outside of the accepted norm. I just got so damn frustrated. The man can’t seem to help himself. He has to push.It probably doesn’t help matters that carrying a shifter cub generates three
